Odd animal facts

Today, I thought what cool animal facts do I know ( I don't know whyI thought that). So I did some research and came up with a collectionof facts. Here they are :1. Bulls are color blind, so they do not respond to red; they respond to movement..2 A domestic cat can frighten a bear into a tree..3 Chickens can't swallow upside down..4 Emus cannot walk backwards.

.5 Iguanas can kill themselves spontaneously..6 Zebras can see well at night but can not see orange..7 A Poison arrow frog's poison can kill 2200 people..8 Caterpillars have 248 muscles in their head.

Those are a few. If you have any good facts post a comment. If they are really good, I will post them.Thanks once again for your support.

I like butterflies and have a garden just for them. The Zebra Longwing butterfly is the only one that eats pollen as well as drink nectar. Because of this they live as long as six months, much longer than other species. It's other name is Heliconius Charitonius. Nice blog!

Hi Billy,last summer in Yellowstone park we saw a black bear that was eating a flower.Very sweet! But we didn't know that bears like flowers!Moreover 2 summer ago in Croatian Chiara found a starfish in the sea. While she was taking it the starfish "kissed" her hand!!!!!Love animals!Chiara and Gaia

I enjoyed your animal facts. I also recently learned that Polar Bears have black skin and they supposedly don't drink water.

My weirdest animal story happened while I was working at the computer late one evening at work. I felt a tickle on my ankle, but when I absent-mindedly reached down to scratch it, something started running up my pants leg! That's when I invented a radically new dance step. It seemed like forever, but a Shrew finally fell out of my pants. Man, they're fast! :o)
